Re: In Tucson...

I can remember exact days and record stores that I bought certain albums in growing up and in college. Sgt Pepper. Tommy. etc. And the excitemnet of a new Dylan album for many years far outshadowed anything else. But when I grew tired of folk/pop/rock and the great Coltrane and Miles left the planet, that particular kind of excitement was gone. I moved by fits and starts into classical music and I discovered how much I love Beethoven. But a new performace of a Beethoven piece doesn't have the impact on me that a new recording, with new material, of the Eagles or a few others used to have. Now, a new piece by Beethoven would be another matter....
